Coward

Why do we drink?
Everyone’s a coward until they get around to it
They get inside of it
I don’t wanna be you do you wanna be you do you?
Did you ever want to?
Cattle in the morning on their way to the wrong system
It’s either me or them
Simple when you crunch it
The numbers have their own logic their reason to exist

Everyone’s a number so baby watch them tumble down
And make a terror town
Unlimited matter I’m showing off my Mick Jagger
He’s still around you know
Maybe when we’re older the world will turn its cheek again
Forgetting where it’s been
Do the baked potato and everyone will never know
What took so long to grow
And everyone’s a coward until they get around to it
They see outside of it

Everybody’s waiting around
Waiting around. Why do we drink?
